I think I caught another one, this fishing game is great fun :wink:
The Fatypus looks pretty cool just need to chop 30 cm off the 170's and they will be fabo..... :thumbup:
The lotus 192 cm require a bit more chopping , but could make a set of blades with the left overs .... :thumbdown:
And whats wrong with snow blades, your be complaining about snowboarders next :wink:
This season the shortest ski I have been on is a 175 twin tip (in fairness I have been on a 174 non-twin with a completely flat tail). The longest a 189 semi-twin. Wickham, you want the 202 no the 192 8)
6' and sitting at 69 kilos this morning.
Squirrely is to be avoided at all costs :shock:
The length you use depends on the sort of skiing you're doing I suppose.....

I think length is mostly a preference thing but most people over estimate the advantages of really short skis and often use them to cover up their shoddy technique ;)
:shock: Pabs...so cutting :lol:
Thats not cutting, thats the arrogance of youth :wink:
Beats the ignorance of age.
I think you would suit the 140s Wickers.

Yes I think you right, I'm going down to 140's, thanks for the tip :thumbup:
Those probably won't qualify as skis Wickers....more Snowblades really. Still, it's your choice :lol:

Im 6ft3 and 14.5 stone and I use 175 at the out door slope, some say i should use 170s.
Isnt the lenght of ski between the chin and nose? (or have i just made that up)
The biggest question is do you get skis that are "Squirrely" or not? :twisted:
